A/N: wow! thank you so much for the reviews; it means so much to me!

my apologizes, this is a wee bit overdue, but i've had exams all week and I'm so tired.


Perhaps it was the feeling of being in a soft bed that woke Kei (Sam) up, but she clearly seemed confused. With eyebrows furrowed, she looked around. This clearly wasn't her room, either. Her vision was improved as well, and everything was clear— since she used to have to wear glasses for far away things. Her hair was visibly cut shorter than it normally would've been, but not short enough so that she could've been mistaken as a boy. There was one long strand though, that she was almost certain would end up pissing her off somewhere near the future.

On top of it all, she felt more... cartoon-y.

Glancing around, she noticed that everything was in an anime style, and her friend Riri (Lili) was fast asleep on the floor. Throwing her legs over the side of the bed, she walked over to Riri. Her short hair had grown back into it's original long state like it had been months ago until she practically chopped it all off. Shaking her shoulder, she looked down at Riri with a frown.

"Wake up! Something really weird happened." Riri stirred and sat up, rubbing her eyes with a yawn. "It worked," Kei whispered and Riri's eyes widened. Standing up, Riri gasped and looked around, jumping up and down excitedly.

"It worked, holy shit!" Riri squeaked and then covered her mouth quickly, a blush scattering over her cheeks. Kei laughed and pointed at Riri.

"Ah, man, we should probably get out of—- I think this is my bedroom?" Kei spoke, looking around with a raised eyebrow. Riri nodded in agreement, and when they stepped out, they were greeted by a maid who smiled warmly at them.

"Good morning Young Miss! Your mother went down to an audition for her new movie, and your father is currently in a meeting, so they asked me to get you both into your uniforms and take you to your new school, Ouran High School!" And that's when both of the girls looked at each other with wide eyes. It actually worked, the stupid little phony box actually worked.

"O—oh, all right, we'll get dressed into the... uniforms." Then, it also hit them that they'd be wearing the extremely annoying, puffy looking yellow dresses that they always despised when they watched the anime and read the manga. Yet, alas, they knew they had no other option as they clambered into the dress. And truthfully, it was far more comfortably then they made it out to be in the anime.

"I feel like a queen." Riri grinned mischievously and Kei rolled her eyes disdainfully, grasping her friend's arm before quickly walking down the stairs. A butler handed them their bags, smiling at them warmly.

"Miss Riri? Your mother said you could stay here for awhile longer, both of them are off on a business trip," The butler told her and Riri glanced over at Kei who was adjusting the small red ribbon on her dress.

"All right, sounds good, thank you!" The duo then proceeded out the large doors, a sigh escaping Kei.

"Dunno, this seems a bit surreal." She laughed as they walked down the various steps cautiously, down to the black limos that were waiting for them patiently. "Like, it's kind of strange, but I guess we can just go along with it for now—- it'd be a bit strange if we just started freaking out out of nowhere, right?" Kei noted as they both filed into the limo. Riri nodded and ran her hand through her long hair.

"Eh, I don't think I've ever missed my long hair this much, hopefully it won't be too hard to tame here," Riri examined it, seeing no split ends and her hair neatly fell back down. Kei laughed and nodded, remembering all the times Riri had consistently complained about her hair being very unmanageable and quite uncooperative.


"We're here, Young Miss."

The voice snapped the duo out of their deep conversation on boys, and whatnot. They both glanced up to see the pink school, tall and look extremely high-class. Being used to public schools, both of the girls swallowed hard as they got out of the limo.

"Goodbye!" Kei waved off the driver, who smiled and nodded before driving away. Turning on her heel, she looked up at the large school building and bit down on her bottom lip. "This could either go extremely well, or go entirely wrong and one of us bursts into flames." Kei decided, and Riri shot her a wide-eyed look, gripping her bag a little tighter. "Except, I really doubt the bursting into flames part," Kei added and Riri sighed out quietly.

As they walked into the school, they were given strange looks, and Kei couldn't really comprehend on why. It didn't make much sense to her, but she didn't do anything about it. Glancing over at Riri, she noticed that Riri had suddenly adapted, giving off an aura of superiority and she held her chin high.

"What the hell are you? A prima-donna* girl?" Kei hissed under her breath, causing Riri's cheeks to suddenly heat up and she glanced over at Kei with a raised eyebrow. "Yes, Riri, you look like you're a prima-donna girl. I mean, I'm getting intimidated just looking at you!" She whispered, and Riri relaxed, letting out a quiet breath.

"Really? I— I mean, I just wanted to be, you know, cool." Riri admitted shyly to Kei as they walked down the hall to the main office. Kei shot Riri a strange look, pressing her lips together. "But— But you know—"

"Hey, it's fine, I understand that but at least tell me before you do that, all right? Then I can join in on it too," Kei nudged her with her elbow, a joking smile lacing her lips. Riri let out a sigh of relief and nodded with a bright smile, muttering a soft will do as they walked into the main office. There, sat a man, with a big shit-eating grin on his lips.

"Girls! Welcome to Ouran, we've been expecting you! Your schedules are actually right here, and if you'd like, we could get you someone to help show you around and give you the inside scoop on the school." The man laughed lightheartedly, and both of the girls smiled awkwardly. Kei picked up her schedule and looked at her homeroom, and ah! Just like any stereotypical fan-fiction both of the girls had read in the spare time, their homeroom was 1-A.

"Thank you, sir. I think we can probably explore the school on our own, though." Kei responded, and the man simply looked at her oddly for a moment, before smiling wide once more and nodding. Kei always had a way of talking her way through things easy. She was always a good kid, so she was always assumed as never being able to do wrong. But she had everyone around her pinkie. However, if she told lies, she always felt guilty.

Riri, was a bit different. Riri was adored, she had a lovely voice yet she was shy. Though she was intelligent, she always kept to herself, which most people just assumed she was an anti-social bookworm. So, in this universe, she took her chance and decided to recreate herself a bit. Riri was giving herself a giant confidence booster, while Kei stayed how she had been, cool and sly.

As the two girls exited, they didn't attract as much attention as before.

"You know, this is like any other fan-fiction."

"How so?" Riri asked, her blue hues looking over at Kei who grinned in response.

"We'll walk into 1-A, and then somehow we'll bump into the twins and Haruhi, then we'll go to the host club, and bippity boop, we're in." Kei responded easily, glancing down at the simple schedule in front of her.

"Oh! I guess you have—-" And Riri was cut short as she found herself nearly head-slamming into someone. Taking a step back, she lost her footing and fell with a quiet oof. Kei instantly glanced over and helped her clumsy friend up, before glancing over at the person who had knocked her down.

"Or, maybe this'll be a bit different," Kei muttered as Riri looked up, seeing sapphire eyes staring right back at the duo with wide eyes.


A/N: Ahh I finally got chapter two out

thanks for waiting and all the hosts will appear sooner or later! I'm trying to make sure Kei & Riri aren't Mary Sues, they have fatal flaws and whatnot, but they're also quite interesting as well. Thank you for reading!
